can't seem to reach goal

my one year is dec 28th and i've been bouncing between 133 and 136 for almost 3 months. will i not reach my original goal of 130?

oh lorrie.....you will reach your goal...look how close you are. I am still in the 180's! i am 30lbs from goal and my one year is the 21st. We are all different and i say that because most every one on this site has gotten to goal or really close to it. THere are a few of us that still have a way to go...... HANG in there--as long as you are doing the right thing...it will happen.

Hi, Lorrie! Congrats on losing over 100 lbs! I imagine that your Dr. will be so pleased with how well you've done this year. You have already scored big time! How about a little more info, as to why you think that you're stuck? Maybe the gang will have a few pointers... Ro

Lorrie, You are so close! You will make it, you definitely can. Have you tried the 5-day pouch test? Just doing the first few days of that may be all that it takes to get that scale moving down. I did three days of liquids the first half of the day and then my regular foods in the evenings and it got me from 132 down to 128 in time for my one year checkup. (those are the weights on my scale, not the dr's of course) How is your water intake? Are you eating many salty things that could cause you to retain fluids this time of the month? You have a few weeks before your surgiversary so you can really push the fluids and accomplish a lot. Good luck, be sure to keep us posted on how it is going! Molly

Hi Lorrie, Yes you can get to your goal! I agree with the other posters, you are so close that it will happen very soon for you. I am 10 pounds away, I had gotten to 136 which is 6 pounds from goal but went back up to 140. I am hoping that before Xmas, I get to 130. If not, I know that when I start back on my workout routing, it will happen. Good luck to you, you have done so well! Angela

Lorrie: I bounce from 158-161, have been for 7 weeks......my clinic had no concerns about this last Thursday! Hang in there! Megan
